Hi all, I have a 2004 X-Trail, its the 2.2 dci sport.
For the last 6 months we have had a what sounds like a grinding/squeeking noise from the nearside wheel area. It seems to be a metal to meatl noise and is worse when turning to the right or breaking, as though when we are putting pressure on something.
We took it to a garage who said it was the brakes, so we had new pads and discs. Costing a small fortune, The noise is still here, we then tried another garage who were recommended by several people. They have no clue, they have had it up on the ramp for most of the day, everything is tight no loose parts etc. No loose suspension.
They could only find that a gator was loose that held grease next to a joint. So they have fitted a new gator, the noise is still here. They are embaressed to not know what it is, they think it may be the driveshaft but do not want to say for sure as it is another £200 job or near to that.
I cannot find anybody who knows what it is, I have tried several garages, Nissan main dealers reckon they do not know of any faults like this.
